pound has limited range, I don't take dmg from it even as tank, although people can get owned in the face if you run at the wrong time and he ends up aiming a different direction than he's pointing

Pound can hit across half the platform. I've gotten into the habit of standing and taking it because I'd rather the healer not get pounded because I dodged it. I was doing H-AN a couple of days ago on my mage, and got fucking smoked because the tank tried to start moving when he came back up from burrow. Ended up taking out me and another DPS. They never went back and fixed his movement after emerging. Kinda sucks still =(.

Anub's emerge is 100% predictable. If you can't be not-where-tank-is before he comes up, I dunno what to tell you

What he does after he comes out is a different story. Quite often he bugs out then starts spinning wildly as if he wants to spike flail the party. While it doesn't happen as often as I use to see it do, it still happens, and it can still lead to a free repair bill if the tank isn't paying attention.

[Siniroth]

Well if the tank's not paying attention is a whole other argument, if tank's not paying attention sure someone else is going to die probably

So yeah, making gold for gems and repairs isn't all that difficult. But I recently got rotface/festergut quest items for Shadow's Edge and I need to farm about 45k gold... Is that amount something that takes a while or is there a good way that anyone knows of? I only have mining to my name so yeah... I know alchemy and herbalism is good from what I hear. Any tips would be nice :<

1. Spam heroics and WG.
2. Convert honor into R/Y/B and badges into O/G/P gems.
3. If you have shittons of Stonekeepers shards, convert those into honor and repeat step 2.
4. Find JC to cut or just sell raw.
5. ???
6. Profit.

I make at least 1k/day without even trying very hard.

[Norellicus]

I make ~500g a day in about 30 minutes thanks to my enchanting alt taking cheaply sold gear and dusting it and selling the mats. This will require some initial investment if you don't have one already, but it pays out.

Plus the 200-500 I can make with very little effort (and a lot more than that with some effort) from farming herbs and stuff. I can't imagine mining is that much harder to turn profit on.

[Dezzimal]

Spec your alch to transmute and make meta gems + cut them.

[Onorgul]

If you have an alt at 80 that you don't really care about, use him to farm Frost badges and turn them into Primordial Saronite.

[Tricen]

I was gunna do that. I can almost buy 4 -_-

[Plow]

That's what I'm doing with my mage, have enough for like 6 so far.

What's sad is I'm also sitting on 200+ frost on my main because our 25 man isn't messing with putricide so I don't want to blow a thousand gold gemming/enchanting 2 pieces that are getting replaced absolutely asap when trophies drop.

Mining makes crazy gold if you do it on a non-super crowded server. Especially since you can make titansteel bars, or get the ore prospected (at least titanium) You should be able to rack up several thousand gold per day if you do it right.

I do this, but part time. I recently liquified 15 or so Titansteel bars I had been hanging on to for a tidy profit. What's especially nice is the stacks of Eternal Elements that build up on the side. Last night I threw up a stack of Eternal Water, posting it at 320 gold, and it sold 30 minutes later.

My server can weird though, Adamantite Bars sell for more than Saronite, so if ICC or Sholazar is ever crowded, I just jump back to Nagrand and fly around for an hour or so, completely uncontested. It works quite well.

[Correction]

prospecting titanium ore is a colossal loss on Kilrogg if you don't get a hot streak of red gems out of it, do your research, the powder is a huge money loser also.

[Slott]

Well, here's how I handled it back a while...I have access to more than just my account though. I'd mine for ore, prospect the saronite, cut the epic/rare gems, use the green gems + 2 crystalized earths with a JC recipe to make green quality rings and/or blue quality rings, disenchant the jewelery, and end up with a shitton of enchanting mats. A lot of work, but a lot of gold made in the process.

Ok I think I'm faction changing to horde.

Orc, or Tauren.

My main spec is fury it's the most geared, while Prot is a little behind. I know Orcs get the Axe expertise and the dps racial, so that's pretty obvious...

But my first wow character was a Tauren warrior, and I just think Taurens look so much more badass.

Am I really going to miss those Orc racials? Some of the best geared Fury warriors I know are Taurens, so they don't seem to care. The expertise thing is huge, it's my most hated stat, I hate gearing for it, and 95% of all weapons I've used have been axes up till now, and they seem to continue to be.

[Onorgul]

Blood Fury and Axe Spec is definitely the way to go in terms of DPS, but there's really nothing wrong with a little extra HP and an AoE Stun from Tauren. The differences aren't really huge, go with the one you like.

[Eaglestrike]

The tauren hp racial is only like 400-450 health, it's really not worth it. The extra expertise and blood fury is far more useful.

[Jodwahh]

Thunderstomp saves lives.

[Boyiee]

Well it's obvious it's more useful for dps... My question wasn't about that.

But would I regret not choosing orc later on. Like I said, the best fury warriors that I know horde side are Taurens, if they really wanted that expertise and racial they'd race change. I much rather be a tauren, they look so much better to me - but would I regret it? Is it really THAT great? Changing from human I'm losing one HELL of a racial.
